keeps me awake nights

[the mingo]

the little girl offers an apple - i'm militarily dominated
meanwhile, back in Egypt the pyramids can't turn dust fast enough
why wait? they think
take out a loan Mohammad, is what wall street thinks
they are not brain dead - just capitalists who can't help
but help themselves and the law that comes from them
is against every man, woman, & child on the streets
and I just got in the mail a book
of advice about how to boost credibility
in an age of shit
shame is a word without weight these days
they tell me it's a matter of volume decline & adjustments
and the weather is going to get more extreme
yeah? I wonder, for who?

three giant pyramids peer-reviewed can't be wrong
and where are the Mohawks do you think?
I'll tell ya where - about 230 years ago they told the treatymakers
that they wouldn't go to Albany to deal with the assholes there
because it was not worth a man's time to do so

a fine example of visionary thinking if ya ask me
and it comes to my mind every time I hear a neighbor, co-worker, friend, or relative say
if you want change ya gotta
vote

when i mention to them the fact
that we have been voting for over three hundred years
and nothing ever changes they look at me incredulously & say,
"You're crazy"

once in awhile it keeps me
awake nights
